Conservative leader Kemi Badenoch tells Labour’s Keir Starmer that he should resign if he does not deliver on defence commitments he has previously made. In the remarks, Badenoch argues that Starmer has repeatedly described defence and national security as a priority, and she challenges him to “keep his word.” She frames Labour’s approach as a significant risk to the UK’s national security, though she does not cite specific new policy details in the provided reports. The comments are presented as a formal warning, with Badenoch describing it as Starmer being given a final chance to act consistently with his stated positions. The coverage focuses on Badenoch’s political demand rather than on any single defence programme, timeline, or legislative change. Overall, the reports describe an escalation in Conservative–Labour exchanges, with Badenoch tying her criticism to credibility and commitment on defence rather than to other policy areas.
